The South Skye Seas Initiative covers three sea lochs, and their surrounding land and rivers (burns): Loch Slapin, Loch Eshort and Loch Scavaig. Scavaig is not labelled on the map. It's the one that includes the island of Soay with the Cuillin mountains to the north and Elgol on its east shore. If you imagine a line drawn between the south shore of Loch Brittle and Point of Sleat, that's the SSSi area. Ambitious or what?
